It 111as first knovm by the µ-elates of Spain that a canal across the Isthmus of Panama v.ould be like a Deba,jo ~ llave to the King of Spain.J Bolivar~ the great emancipator of Colombia., assez:ted that a canal Fould soim day be built across the Isthnru.s of Pana.ma .. Several leading nations have considered the possibility of building a canal across the Isthmus: England, France and the United States. England never attempted it; . .,,y France tried, but finally gave it up as an impossi ble undertaking. I3-storians have written_ int(_? t!ieir _!rl.s_!.9ries ~~a~h~ United States., under Theod_s>!:_e Roosevelt, merel_y_ took_their navy and went do,m and took P~ama aw from Colombia. Historians fail to show that according to the Treaty of 1846., bet\7een }Jew Granada and the United States, Colombia had given the United States the right to construct, maintain and protect any type of transportation across the Isthmus of Pana.ma. The men of history fail to re..11.ize that the Panamanian people vrere interested in breakir\g away from Colonbia., as shown in the Revolution of 1903. It is not commonly knmm in histories that the Panamanian people ki1ew that if the Canal failed because of Colombia' s stupidity in her diplomatic re- lations in securing aid in building the Canal that all that Panama ever hoped to be economically, socially and politically v;ould be destroyed./ To compile all the treaties and letters from 1846 to the Panama- nian Revolution of 19Q3 that referred to a canal across the Isthmus of anama., '®uld be too great for a thesis. The essence of all thea treat- , I t ~ I } •t.; I ~ L' (, i . ~ , ' I ~ ..> •.) ,, . I ies and letters ms, ho\' ever, for Colombia to find some nation who was .willing to build the Canal and then tum over the management to Colombia. iv It is., then, the purpose of this treatise to show that the desire f or independence came from within Panama and not from rvithout, and that Colombia. failed to accomplish 1hat she started out to do, nanely., to build a canal a.cross the Isthmus . Colombia .failed because she asked too much. Panama could see the failure. Pana.ma also knew that Colombia. had taxed her heavily and had not put anything back into Panalli:1. such as roads., schools, or any other type of internal improvemait. Panama knew that she v1as not represented in the government of Colombia sufficiently to overcame this handicap. Panama I s only answer as to break vdth Col­ ombia. The building of the Pana.ma. Canal has saved the w-orld millions of miles of dangerous and unnecessary travel.. The Canal has become the crossroad of international commerce. Panama. has gained by leaps and bounds in internal improvement and economic stability as shovm in this thesis. The Panama Canal has been an aid to civilization. Because of t he nearness of the Canal to Col­ ombia., Colombia has gained nmch more than she could have ever expected from Panama ithout the Ca.ruil. y' The author of this thesis is especially indebted to those who have so ably assisted him in giving helpful criticisms in the prere.ration of this work.

The historic document said: The proceedings of the President in the Panama matter ,ere not only in accord with the principles of justice and equity, in line with all major precedents of our public policy, but were the only course which could be taken in the fulfillment of our rights and obligations of the treaty with Pana.ma. Through our treaty made with New Granada (Colombia) in the year of 1846, New Granada guaranteed the right of transit across the Isthnrus of Pana.ma.. This right, acquired by treaty, 1'l'as not conceded freely but in exchange for irn..oortant compensation. The government of the United States guaranteed positively and efficaciously the stipulation of perfect ~utrality of the Isth.'ilUs w:i.. th a viev to free transit from one ocean to another, which m y not be inteITUpted or ~rassed at any time while this treaty lasts.1 In substance, the United States guaranteed to Panama the same rights of sovereignty and propriety which New Granada possessed over the Isthmus t erritory, and close relations were created between the two goverrurents, relations well establiohed by President Theodore Roosevelt in a message to the Senate, in which he said, The importance of the concession for the commercial and politi­ cal interests of the United States could not be appreciated. The Panama route is the shortest betlveen the two oceans. It is a most practicable location for a railroad or canal, and considerable advantage will result for our trade and communications, not only with the West Coast of America, but also vdth Asia and the Pacific Islands, because such a route saves· the United States the long and dangerous navigation of more than 9, 000 miles through Cape Horn. By the treaty,. , e do not propose to guarantee the territory of a foreign nation iith ,vhl.eh the United States does not have common 1 Castillero, History of Inter-Oceanic Communications ~ of i ts Influence !lli! of ~ Development £! Panama Nationality, pp. 151. 2 interests; but on the other hand we are more interested in the guarantee o:f New Granada than of any other nation. These consid­ erations of effective control have come to be more important each year since the time of the treaty. The acquisition of Hawaii and the Philippines has given an even higher value to the control of trade and traffic in all the ci villzed world and tranquil transit through the Isthmus has become highly important to the United States. The right to this control has never made us lax, nor caused us to lose sight of the re-vindication of our rights or the exercise of our obligation. Secretary Everest, in 1853, assured the Minister of Peru that, 11The Treaty confirms that we shall not vacillate in maintaining the neutrality of the Isthmus in case of war between Peru and Colombia . " In 1866, Colombia, which had always been vigilant in profiting by the privileges granted in the Treaty, expressed its hopes that in case of war between Spain and Peru, the United St ates would put into effect the guarantee of its neutrality. In 1871 Fish said that the Department of State had !owidations for believing that by advertence the United States had on various occ- asions av ided an attack on the sovereignty of Colombia through the Isthmus. 2 In 1896 Colombia was menaced by Italy in the outbreak of hostilities caused by the Cerruti Claims. Italy had manifested serious interests, which the United States could not permit, against a sister republic of this hemisphere; and the United States protected Colombia's sover- eignty as the government of a port of which the Treaty guarantees free- dom. The United States has not o~ constantly protected Col.ombia from foreign invasions, in its efforts to carry out the Treaty obligations, but had intervened at other times to avoid obstruction of traffic during the periods of domestic dissension. In these cases we intervened in 2 ~ - , 315 3 view of the necessities of the moment, but always to the benefit of Colombi as well as international trade. The position of the United States was clearly expressed by ~&rd. in these words: The United States has not ta.ken, nor will talce, any part in the question of internal revolutions in the State of Panama nor in Colombia, but will maintain perfect neutrality in such domestic controversies; moreover, the United States goes on record for pro­ tecting trade through the Isthmus against invasions, either domestic or foreign, rhich would disturb the peace f Panama . There has never existed any doubt that the Treaty of 1846 guarantees free transit either for the citizens or for the government of the United States. We used the Isthmus for the transit of troops and for apprehension of fugitives of justice; and in the protocol signed in Bogota, February 22, 1879, this right of transit for troops and the extradition or criminals remained, a right hich we retained as compensation for guaranteeing the sovereignty and property of the Isthmus.

    Chapter 3 Pre-Natal Labor in the Birth of a Republic Cromwell had on the Isthmus both American and Pana- de- pendent dnTrrrgoodwill forTheir livelihood. They were ac> "cusiomed to taking orders fr6m liliu because he, as general counsel of the railroad and of its owner, the New Panama Canal Company of France, was virtually the head of the operation. These potential instruments for revolution were Jose Augustin Arango, land agent and local attorney for the railroad, who was also its lobbyist in Bogota as Senator representing the Department of Panama; Captain James PL and port R. Beer^Jreight agent captain; James ^ perintendent; Herbert G. Prescott assist^FTuperintend- ent; and DrManuel Amador Guerrero, the railroad's med- """ ical officer! Senator Arango told some, but by no means all of the story of the "revolution" in his pamphlet, "Data for a His- 23 24 The Untold Story of Panama tory of the Independence^ It was printed in pamphlet form in 1905. Telltale data in an earlier version were de- leted. Even the 1905 pamphlet was removed from the Con- gressional Library in Washington. In it Arango said he re- fused to attend the 1903 session of the Colombian Congress because he was convinced the Hay-Herran Treaty would be rejected and that secession would be "the only way for the salvation of the Isthmus." Arango's official version was that he sought out Captain Beers, "a man of entire trustworthiness and excellent judg- ment having influence with persons in high places," and asked him to go to New York. Also that "Captain Beers ac- cepted the delicate mission and immediately left for the United States." The persons with influence in high places whom Beers knew were in Cromwell s office.

  • Settlement Colonialism: Compensatory Justice in United States Expansion, 1903-1941
    Settlement Colonialism: Compensatory Justice in United States Expansion, 1903-1941 Allison Powers Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Art and Sciences Columbia University 2017 © 2017 Allison Powers All rights reserved ABSTRACT Settlement Colonialism: Compensatory Justice in United States Expansion, 1903-1941 Allison Powers Between the mid nineteenth century and the early twentieth, the United States transformed from a set of contiguous states into a far-flung global empire. As foreign policymakers sought to justify this expansion through the framework of law, they turned to the concept of compensation to reconcile the large-scale dispossession that resulted from territorial acquisition with a political system committed to the protection of private property. The United States became a leading advocate of international claims settlement to resolve the legal problems that arose out of imperial expansion, submitting to a series of tribunals designed to award monetary compensation for life and property lost as a result of annexation. At face value, these Claims Commissions secured the peaceful resolution of political conflict through the seemingly neutral mechanism of the market. However, the arbitrations had unanticipated consequences for the U.S. government. When denied remedies in domestic forums, foreign nationals living in American territories used the process of international claims settlement to demand their own visions of justice. “Settlement Colonialism:

  • Manifesto on Panamanian Independence, 1903 Upon
    Manifesto on Panamanian Independence, 1903 Upon declaring independence, the leaders of a Panamanian provisional government junta issued the following statement. Jose Agustín Arango, a politician, led this group, and served alongside two businessmen, Federico Boyd, and Tomás Arias. The transcendental act that by a spontaneous movement the inhabitants of the Isthmus of Panama have just executed is the inevitable consequence of a situation which has become graver daily. Long is the recital of the grievances that the inhabitants of the Isthmus have suffered from their Colombian brothers; but those grievances would have been withstood with resignation for the sake of harmony and national union had its separation been possible and if we could have entertained well- founded hopes of improvement and of effective progress under the system to which we were submitted by that Republic. We have to solemnly declare that we have the sincere and profound conviction that all the hopes were futile and useless, all the sacrifices on our part. The Isthmus of Panama has been governed by the Republic of Colombia with the narrow-mindedness that in past times were applied to their colonies by the European nations—the isthmian people and territory was a source of fiscal resources and nothing more. The contracts and negotiations regarding the railroad and the Panama Canal and the national taxes collected in the Isthmus have netted to Colombia tremendous sums which we will not detail, not wishing to appear in this exposition which will go down to posterity as being moved by a mercenary spirit, which has never been nor is our purpose; and of these large sums the Isthmus has not received the benefit of a bridge for any of its numerous rivers, nor the construction of a single road between its towns, nor of any public building, nor of a single college, and has neither seen any interest displayed in advancing her industries, nor has a most infinite part of those sums been applied toward her prosperity.

Este virreinato comenzó a independizarse de España desde 1810. Panamá la logró el 28 de noviembre de 1821. Después, en 1840, líderes panameños lograron independizarla de Nueva Granada y se creó el Estado del Istmo bajo la dirección de Tomás Herrera. Sin embargo este estado no pudo mantenerse independiente y en diciembre de 1841 volvió a formar parte de la entonces República de Nueva Granada, que a partir de 1886 se llamó República de Colombia. En 1903, la lucha entre diferentes grupos y una difícil situación en la construcción del Canal de Panamá motivó a los líderes panameños a recibir ayuda de Estados Unidos y así obtuvieron la separación de Colombia el 3 de noviembre de 1903. Demetrio H. Brid asumió el mando por un día mientras se constituyó la Junta Provisional de Gobierno, la cual gobernó del 4 de noviembre de 1903 al 19 de febrero de 1904.

ALLEN IN A PLANT FAMILY replete with strikingly handsome genera, the Roystoneas well merit their name of Royal Palms. Certainly their gigantic size and regal asped put them in a class apart. Their unquestionable emotional impact on every traveler has led to their wide dissemination throughout the tropics of both hemispheres, where they may be seen as dooryard specimens or in stately avenues. In spite of their frequence in townsites, the group is not well understood, and many perplexing pro­ blems present themselves to the most . casual observer. In the Canal Zone and adjacent Panama, and in San José, Costa Rica, for example, one cannot help but notice the often striking differences in the local cultivated specimens. Old stands, such as those planted in front of the Hotel Washington in Colón, and the street plantings from Gorgas Hospital to the post office in Ancón are very mixed, sorne being tremendously tall, with uniformly cylindric trunks and nearly horizontal fronds, while others are considerably shorter, with bulging trunks and drooping foliage. Spathes and inflorescences vary in length and in profile, and the fruits often vary in color and shape. A particularly mixed group may be seen along Avenida Federico Boyd in Bella Vista, where marked differences are to be noted in height, trunk profile, trunk diameter, number and position of f!'onds, degree of orientation of the planes of the phmae, the height at which individual specimens first flow- 2 CE IBA VoL.
